An Ottawa-area man has been detained in Cuba after scuffling with a masseur who allegedly touched the tourist's wife inappropriately.
Police seized Clyde Carrière's passport after the masseur's ankle broke during a shoving match.
Carrière was staying at the Sol Cayo Coco hotel in Cuba with his wife, Lynne, and two children, aged five and seven.
Lynne said she was getting a massage when the masseur began touching her breast, kissing her and telling her she was beautiful. She walked out without paying.
Later, when Carrière returned to the beach, the masseur insisted on payment for the massage. A shoving match ensued and the masseur's ankle was broken.
Authorities have seized Clyde Carrière's passport, stranding him in the country.
The Canadian embassy in Cuba has said they will offer consular assistance.
Lynne and her children returned Friday to their home in Embrun, Ont.
